pose of ehectng treaty between Great
Britain and the United States, has laid
before the President the draft of the
proposed treaty. By the condition of
this treaty all difficulties that cannot be
settled by direct diplomatic negotiation,
are to be referred to a Board Of Arbitra-
tors, and both governments must accept
the decision as final. This is indeed n
hopeful sign, for by such action, and
only by such action, can we hope
to put an end to war and all its terrible
results. 1t cannot be said that the great

On the 18th ofnextmonth John G. Whit
tier viii celebrate his eightieth birthday.
He is still erect and strong, and though
he writes not so much as when younger,
those poems that come from his pen
evince no loss of power, but at times it
seems as if added strength and beauty
marked the lines. We regard his grow
ing age with feeling of sadness, for it
reminds us how fast the literary
men and women who have been the
glory of this century are passing away.
Dickens, Thackery, Macaulay, Disraeli,
Mrs. Browning, George Eliot, Miss
Muloch, George Sand, Victor Hugo,
Irving, Hawthorne, Bryant, Emerson,
Longfellow, and others whose names we
revere, have all written, and died, within
the memory of those yet in the prime of
life. Those who remain are few and
are all even now in the winter of life.
Tennyson, Holmes. Whittier, Walt
Whitman and Mrs. Stowe, are all more
than three score and ten. Vigorous
mentally and physically, old age is to
such men and women opportunity no
less than youth. There is indeed fire
Of heart and brain that makes physical
strength no less than mental and our
literary men are those who attain
greatest length Of days. A physical
organ through disease becomes useless,
The brain through disease becomes
mere mass of white and gray matter
that may serve to guide your food to
your mouth, but as thinking, creative
force-so much sawdust would do as
well a trained, balanced, active brain,
means usually well developed, strong
body. People suffer in the brain chilly
and SO in body. Our great thinkers are
our longlived men, and with few except
ions they are men who work to the last.
Softening of the brain, loss Of mind
comes generally after life spent in
killing brain and mind Cato learned

after each was past eighty; Chaucer be-
gan the Canterbury Tales after he was
sixty years old; Goethe's Faust was
written in his old age, finished indeed
after he was eighty; Longfellow wrote
his Michael Angelo when he was seven
ty; Victor Hugo wrote constantly up to
the last; George Eliot only began to
write after her life was half spent,
and now our living poets sing their
songs in their old age. The question
will present itself, is the present genera
ton of writer's likely to fill the place of
the generation almost gone? Is there
ia the new school mental vigor enough
TO outlast the years? Some of our
writer's show already signs of premature
decay mentally, and, as proved thou
sand times, that reacts. There seems a
lack Of the real power, which, for the
better part of Il century, has been
moulding our literary life. The reasons
are not far to go-but we began only to
say that Whittier will soon be eighty
